half life?

[*o*]

i love half life!! any chance of a port onto psp?

[BlackxKnight]

its not open source i believe so it would be illegal.

[JcBoyCool]

If so i dont it it will work. Even if it did it would run slow for a long time.

[Cap'n 1time]

i thought half life was opensource... uh.. must be thinking of somthing else i guess

[BlackxKnight]

well i remember half-life gold or somthing was never accually released on DC but it was still considered Warez and couldnt be discussed on dcemulation.com

[AKB]

i would love to play half-life on the psp as well as wold3d and my all time fav retro game for DOS tyrian 2000. if any of these 3 games come out i must know asap!

[*o*]

half life engine is open source

[AKB]

i think tryian2000 should be converted to a .wad file cause its dos like doom, just it will be a bit larger then normal like mybe 50 mb? ill play it anyday even if its 600mb :)

[*o*]

maybe someone could make a wad file of half life? it would be ALOT of work but very cool!

[AKB]

why cant there just be a easy to use dos to wad convertor :) some lonley coder should try to make such a very hard coded program to make lifes of thousads of people happy:) so he can get some happy for him self to be such a help to the socity:)

you cant just convert a game to a wad file.. the doom engine is not nearly as advanced as the half life engine.

[Darksaviour69]

yeah, u might as well ask..." why can't someone make something that can turn lead into gold... it woulds make the lifes of thousads of people happy, so he can get some happy for him self to be such a help to the socity"
;)

[*o*]

hhhmm maybe i should patent my mavhine *pats lead to gold machine!*

[worldspawn]

Half-Life is NOT opensource. There is an SDK. But that has no engine code! So this cannot be done.. please, no more stupid threads like this.. kthxdie.

[*o*]

i thought it was.....oh well

[Tomppa]

I think I saw a Half-Life.wad, I'm not talking about a single time, well, that must be a fake then huh?

[Cap'n 1time]

could be. its just a file name. some times people use the same file type names, but often they are compiled into the file differantly.

Also this could just be a user created half-life mod for doom, who knows.

[Hawq]

Its a mod for Doom, I've used it myself with Xbox & PC Doom many times & its quite nice really

[porjay]

Half-Life was based on Quake engine but valve made enhancements to it.

[Humbug]

yea i was gonna say that it was baed on the quake engine

[robotdevil]

You could see a halflife.wad file, halflife uses wads for the spray logos (check it out on google) But the info contained is VERY different from the doom engine levels

[BlackxKnight]

its not just the spray logos the wad files are just tons of textures used in the level and i believe on models too.

[Cap'n 1time]

ahem

i get no respect.

Is porting the Half-life: Uplink Demo to PSP illegal?

I know the Half-life engine is a heavily modified Quake engine, and we have Quake running full speed on PSP's. Not to mention Half-life is on PS2.
There's some positives for possibility :)

[the_eternal_dark]

id say make a quake mod since it would look 5x better than a doom.wad mod and have a close resemblance to what half-life should be. wad modding is getting old now, and most newer games are going to be hampered by its limitations.

[ICE]

no and even it you could it'd be like 2 fps.

[coo]

halls is right, there is no way hl would run at 333mh

[Cap'n 1time]

not only do either of the two posters above have any idea what you are talking about, but your reviving an old post that id rather forget. half life is garbage, GARBAGE I SAY!

[coo]

right Awsome, my bad, i'll research before posting

BTW: if you want to forget this post, why don't you lock it?

[spacedwarv]

if they could get it working on dreamcast im sure a psp one would eb possible they have similar specs anyways

[the_eternal_dark]

I was hoping that this thread would be closed by now....

Actually spacedwarv, there are major differences between the PSP and the DC. There are plenty of threads listing both of their specs in detail, as well as good compare/contrast topics of the 2. Best bet, look around, because you're just going to get flamed to hell if you don't do research.


*edit* BTW, could we have a sticky for the comparison (such as specs) and the reasons that anything on DC can't be ported to the PSP, in this forum atleast?
